The D4 Process
Our four-phase methodology for optimizing your office infrastructure: Discover your needs, Design the solution, Deploy with precision, and Direct ongoing success.
Discover
A comprehensive three-tier discovery process builds the foundation for your optimized office environment:
Data Collection and Asset Mapping:
Detailed hardware-level mapping tracks device locations, usage patterns, and asset conditions to build a complete picture of your current infrastructure.
End-User Information Gathering:
Through surveys, interviews, and direct observations, your teams' interaction with current systems is analyzed to identify specific needs.
Advanced Data Collection:
Specialized software monitors device usage, print volumes, and error rates in real-time, providing comprehensive insights into your document management environment.

Design
Using insights from discovery, a strategic blueprint for your future office environment is developed:
Data Analysis and Insights:
Inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement are identified, highlighting areas where automation can replace manual processes and reduce errors.
Workflow Optimization:
Tailored solutions include efficient print policies, optimal hardware configurations, and workflow adjustments to maximize productivity.
Lifecycle and Cost Optimization:
Strategies for fleet consolidation, improved device management, and energy-saving practices reduce total cost of ownership.
